**********************************************************
WELCOME PALS to the MARCH Lotto Block FUN and I must say we have been having FUN with some FABulous blocks! I can feel the LOVE your have stitched into them
BLOCK: "Garden Walk" block from QIAD's Egg Money Book.

Each section in this block measures 4.5" before sewn together. Lay out the sections that will be sewn on each side of the 4 triangles BEFORE you stitch them. Two are mirror image of the other 2

FABRICS: Small/Medium Flower Fabrics in Medium colors with coordinating colors
* No Solids please
BACKGROUND FAB: Small print delicate White on White. Please make sure it is White on White and not Cream on White. I got caught on this

Here is Eleanor's demonstrating on how to make the block. She starts the block at 3:06 but it is always fun to hear history. Please watch the video as many times as you need to enjoy making this block. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLS9jYS ... LS9jYSeD4M

If you do not have the ruler she uses in the video please go to this link to get an idea of the size of the block, copy the markings onto a 5" Background Square OR Paper Piece the triangle block. If you use the templates watch in the video how she sqquares them up. There is 1/8" of the color fabric beyond the white fabric on each bottom side of the block. http://www.quilterscache.com/B/BirdofPa ... Block.html

I HOPE you ENJOY making this NEW BLOCK. I know it will make a BEAUTIFUL QUILT!!! HAPPY STITCHING!!!
REMEMBER: While we still have FUN we always work on practicing our seam allowances; our .25" seam outside edges of your block, our points and making sure the block is 12.5". Don't forget to make a block for yourself for your End of the Year Quilt. The choice is yours as to how many blocks you have time to make. It is FUN TO WIN and also to see a PAL WIN and know she will make a FABulous Quilt!!!

Nice choice! xxx J xxx

[WeSignificant]

I think this is easier than it looks. I will try a few

[TeresaK]

Valerie - this IS much easier than it looks. That's why I showed everyone the individual sections so it didn't look so scary

Yea Jacquie - Love to see you!!!

Lori - Always a GREAT book to have. The first book I picked up in 2005 when I visited her Shop/Studio/Classroom in San Marcos

[QuiltGram8]

I will be joining you all. I just found out that I had that pattern printed out and in a note book with other QIAD patterns.

I will need to go fabric shopping though. Might not get started sewing right away, but I will get them done in plenty of time.

Hugs to all.
Vel

[TeresaK]

Velda - Wonderful news you will be joining us and that you found the pattern in a notebook. It is so much FUN to find things that you have stored away and now need
Happy shopping for some wonderful medium small flowery prints. There are sooooo many of them. Trust me I know. I picked up many in my travels over the years. It was hard for me to decide which ones I wanted to use.

Hugs back to you!!!
